It is rather common in folk traditions for the makers to become over shadowed by the made, the tradition outlives the practitioner. In this section we focus on the craftsperson through interviews and articles.

There is also a detailed list of National Award Winners with their contact information. We add to this list constantly and it is an essential part of our effort to highlight the craftsperson and his/her contribution to our culture fund.

A comprehensive listing of over 46,000 artisan is available on a CD format. The information on the CD can be searched by state, award winners, generic crafts. For information on purchase click here.
